Room 34 Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 ...but how do I grab the ROM image and drop it onto floppy from My PC, and still have it readable on the vintage Mac. I don't have a new mac.. so at this point.. I don't care about that Sorry if I missed this in an earlier post I didn't bother to read, but how old is the Mac in question? Macs were able to read PC floppies for quite some time. I think pretty much any Mac that can run System 7 or later can read PC floppies. (Maybe even before that... it just needs a "SuperDrive"... from back when that term didn't refer to a DVD-R burner!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm allreasdy reserved to the fact that it might take using a new mac, to put stuff on the old mac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liveinabin Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 Yeah, floppies are less than useless. Email has killed the floppy disc. You could email 1.44Mb in no time at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
